"North Due South" 2008 Hamilton 24 hour film festival entry

-Third place winner-
-peoples choice award-

This was our entry for the 2008 Hamilton 24 hour film festival. We had 24 hours to produce a short film no more than 5 minutes in length - using a prop, location type, and line of dialogue chosen at the kick-off meeting.

Prop: Plunger
Location: Playground
Line of dialogue: "Like you said, this is it, this is life!"

The films were screened for the public one week after the kick-off. A panel of industry judges selected the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners who were awarded thousands of dollars in prizes! Audience voting determined the People's Choice award; Films were also be presented to several industry leaders--who provided written feedback to the filmmakers!

Nice Job those are damn hard festivals to create for , since the stipulations are so restrictive .. great job for a fast film

[MikeRilstone]

it was pretty tough making a short film in 24 hours, given we had no script pre written going in to the festival. It was a great time though. I think anyone interested in film should give a 24 hour festival a go. Its a great test of skill.

[MikeRilstone]

cheers,

Pretty cool video! I didnt know we had a 24 hour video film festival here. There should be more publicity for it. Good luck in future films guys! Great work!!!
